You have questions, and I have half-assed answers. The Desipio Mailbag makes a triumphant return and if you have burning questions (likely a result of sitting on Ryan Braun's toilet seat), you can send them to me at ask@desipio.com. And remember, there are no dumb...

So, Vince McMahon is proof of something the Cubs last reminded us of a couple of years ago with Chris Coghlan--a bad idea repeated is still a really bad idea. He's bringing back the XFL, the league that brought us guys paralyzing themselves chasing after their...

Over the span of an hour the Brewers traded a pair of top-100 prospects for Christian Yelich and then signed Lorenzo Cain for $80 million over five years. Those are a couple of bold moves, and just the kind that will energize the only fanbase in the league that would...

The only reason reasonable people follow USA Today baseball writer Bob Nightengale on Twitter is either because they, like Bob, are founding members of the Dusty Baker Fan Club, or just for the amusement you get from the stupid shit that he writes. The Baseball Hall...

Every year at the Cubs Convention somebody asks Tom Ricketts a question about Sammy Sosa and every year (at least since 2010) Tom bungles the answer. It should not be a hard question to field, especially since he knows it's coming. What he should do is assemble his...

It's my own fault, I know that. Nobody forced me to do it, I brought it on myself. For some reason, I keep listening to the Bill Simmons podcasts when he has Mike Francesa on to talk NFL playoffs and make their laughably bad picks. If you haven't listened to any...

As part of our ongoing (never ending, really) celebration of Desipio's 20th anniversary, I'm still digging up golden oldies. Given the mild backlash my Monday Cub O' Coffee column on The Athletic got because I was "mean to Tom Ricketts and Crane Kenney" let's take a...
